Biographical Note Donald Howard Chaplin was born November 13, 1922, and was a veteran of WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. He was a part of the 523rd Squadron, 27th Fighter Group. He was wounded in action in September 1944, and disqualified from flying due to those injuries and burns from April 1945 to 1951. He received the Air Medal in 1944 and the Air Force Commendation Medal in 1964. He retired from the military in 1969 and passed away October 18, 1996. Patrick Henry Brady was born October 1, 1936, and was a Vietnam veteran. He began his service in the ROTC in high school, and upon graduation was commissioned as a 2nd Lt. From there, he graduated from the U.S. Aviation School in 1963. During his time in Vietnam, he was the commander of a UH-1H ambulance helicopter. He was a member of the U.S. Army Medical Service Corps, 54th Medical Detachment, 67th Medical Group, and 44th Medical Brigade. It was during this time that he was awarded the Medal of Honor. He retired from the Army as a Major General in 1993. Scope and Content of the Collection This collection consists mostly of the military file for USAF veteran Lt. Col. Donald H. Chaplin. It contains physicals, flight records, military orders and citations. It also consists of some other miscellaneous military documents from other veterans, of whom we have no information. Arrangement The collection arrived with no discernible arrangement, and was rearranged by PMML staff into 1 slim document box and 1 rectangular oversize box. It was arranged into series by Donald H. Chaplin materials in Series 1, and Series 2 contains all the miscellaneous materials held in Col. Diane Schroer’s collection. Series One: Donald H. Chaplin, 1943-1969 This series contains all the records relating to Donald H. Chaplin's military service in the USAF throughout WWII, Korea and Vietnam. It contains flight records, citations, orders, and training materials. Series Two: Miscellaneous, 1913-1954 This series contains a small mix of materials not related to Donald H. Chaplin.
